This is the line drawing from a birthday card I made for a friend which I only later realized might make a fun coloring page (see original version here). Had to take a photo of a colored in version and then convert it back into a line drawing. Not ideal. The original drawing is only about 4x3 inches, so it may not print well too large.

Two cards I've drawn lately, for a birthday and a secret santa gift. Usually I draw things large and then print them out onto cards, but drawing directly onto the card is very satisfying as well. I really enjoyed making the minimalist/etched dog drawing; I may have to try out more of those. The dinosaurs are essentially a coloring book page I drew and then colored in myself (forgetting to scan in the original outline, so I cannot make more! silly mistake). I ended up taking this photo and pulling the original line drawing out of it through a process I like to call "erasing a lot of stuff." Hoping to get to do more art this winter!
